STOOGES - "i wanna be your dog" Tablature

"I Wanna Be your Dog" by The Stooges

Two guitars should play this at the same time; One does the chords
and the other does the solos.

When there are no solos, the solo guitar should play the same
as the chord guitar.

As for the chords, I really cannot explain exactly how to play
them, so you'll have to listen to the song itself to get an idea.
All I can say is that for the intro chords, you just play one of
each on a powerful downstrum and hold the last one.

Again, for the solos, you'll have to listen to the song to
find the correct way to play it.

Both guitars should drop the bottom E string down a semitone
(1 fret) to Eb.


F#5 = 3-4-x-x-x-x
F5 = 2-3-x-x-x-x
Eb5 = 0-1-x-x-x-x
F#5/Eb = 0-9-11-x-x-x
F5/Eb = 0-8-10-x-x-x
(Eb5)2 = 0-6-8-x-x-x < this chord is one octave higher than the
Db5/Eb = 0-4-6-x-x-x first one
Bb5/Eb = 0-1-3-x-x-x
B5/Eb = 0-2-4-x-x-x

Key: h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend to the following fret number
r = release back to the original fret number
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
~~~ = vibrato

Intro:
~~~~~~
F#5 F5 Eb5 Hold this chord and play the intro scale below

Verse:
~~~~~~
Start the verse with these chords
F#5/Eb - F5/Eb - (Eb5)2 <the (Eb5)2 chord is played two times
longer than the other two chords

This chord progression continues through the entire Verse

Lyrics for the 1st verse:

So messed up, I want you here
In my room, I want you here
Now we're gonna be face to face
Lay right down in my favourite place

[chorus]

2nd Verse:

Now I'm ready to close my eyes
Now I'm ready to close my mind
Now I'm ready to feel your hand
Lose my heart in the burnin' sand

[chorus]

Chorus:
~~~~~~~
Play this 3 times:

F#5/Eb - F5/Eb - F5/Eb - (Eb5)2
Now I wanna be your dog

Then this:

F#5/Eb - (Eb5)2 - Db5/Eb - Bb5/Eb - B5/Eb (Eb5)2
Well, C'mon!

Then Back to Verse 2


When you have finished the 2nd Chorus, the Chord guitar continues
with the Verse chords and the solo guitar plays "The End" Solo
below.
